IAN: Dan, I asked you to explain why the
definition of atomism that you invented was
better than the traditional Three Laws of

I believe it is now incumbent upon you
to explain why your definition of atomism
was better than the Three Laws of Thought.
If you care to explain that, here's my last

"A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its
opponents and making them see the light, but rather because
its opponents eventually die, and a new generation grows
up that is familiar with the idea from the beginning."
